HISTORY OF THE YALE FOREST SCHOOL 



YALE IN THE FORESTRY MOVEMENT 

By Henry Solon Graves 

Director of the Yale Forest School, 1900 to 191 1, now Chief of the 
United States Forest Service 

The Yale Forest School was established when the movement 
of forestry in this country was in its infancy — at a time when 
the majority of the people of the country were ignorant of, 
indifferent to, or opposed to the aims and methods of forestry. 
The history of the School has been coincident with a most 
remarkable development of forestry throughout the country. 
The Yale School has a very large share of credit for this develop- 
ment; without Yale and the other forest schools the results of 
the last decade could never have been achieved. No country 
has yet succeeded in establishing forestry on a permanent footing 
except through well trained foresters. Forestry had its real 
beginning in the United States when there were men to initiate 
the work of putting its principles into actual practice. 

In the minds of the founders of the Yale School there was 
not only a recognition of the need of trained men to carry on 
the work of forestry, but there was also a determined purpose 
tO' set a high standard of education that would train its students 
for leadership in the development of the science and practice 
of forestry. No task before the School has been more difficult. 
In the early days the technical demands on the forester were 
small. Oftentimes his first work was purely administrative, for 
which a very elementary knowledge of forestry would suffice. 
The demand for men was at that time so great that a young man 
with but little training could secure a place with the Government 
or elsewhere. There was therefore a tremendous pressure for 
a short-cut education, and to omit many fundamental features 
of technical training that did not seem of immediate practical 
application. But the School consistently maintained its high 
technical requirements, because it was training men to develop 
forestry and not merely to fill certain positions that might be 
available. 



YALE FOREST SCHOOL 



The keynote of forestry is foresight. In the first work of 
organizing forestry there must be a clear vision of future 
development. Otherwise no real progress is possible. Every 
step undertaken in handling a forest has an effect on its future 
condition, whether it involves the building of trails, the location 
of cuttings, the method of cuttings, or the organization of a 
protective system. The man who has a proper training can 
look ahead and guide his work to meet the requirements of a 
real upbuilding of his forest. The man with no such knowledge 
will invariably work on a basis of immediate expediency, without 
consideration of what is to be the ultimate development of the 
forest. Many do not appreciate the vital influence of single 
localized operations on the development of the forest in the 
future, because mistakes may not be discovered or good work 
appreciated for a long time. 

Already the need for a high standard of forest education 
has been demonstrated. I regard the part Yale has been able 
to play in maintaining this standard as one of its largest achieve- 
ments; it is the real reason for the School's leadership in 
forestry and the confidence it has acquired throughout the 
country. The graduates of the School have been leaders because 
they have had a point of view and knowledge beyond that 
needed for the every-day work which they first find to do. 

In addition to the educational foundations secured at the 
School, the graduates have shown a spirit of public service 
and devotion to their work that has contributed largely to their 
leadership. The forestry movement will have a very vital 
influence on the internal development and lasting prosperity 
of the country. Every forester is working toward an end 
which will benefit the nation, whether he is in public service 
or in the employ of a lumber company. This body of men 
scattered throughout all the states constitutes an educational 
force that is irresistible. 

Through the devoted work of its Faculty and the enthusiastic 
and consistent spirit of loyal service of its graduates, the Yale 
Forest School has already accomplished results which deserve 
high credit. Its work, however, is still in its infancy. In per- 
forming its part in developing public forest policies, both for 
the Nation and the states, in building up the science of forestry, 



YALE IN THE FORESTRY MOVEMENT 9 

and getting its principles in actual practice, Yale has a great 
opportunity and a great responsibility to serve the country. 
When we read the history of the School contained in this volume, 
let it be with the feeling that it tells of the foundation for a 
work which everyone associated with the School aims to do for 
the Nation. It is an account of the past to be of help for the 
future. 



THE YALE FOREST SCHOOL 
AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 

By James William Toumey 

Director of the Yale Forest School, and a professor in the School since 

its foundation 

The first great step in forest conservation in the United 
States was taken in 1891 when, through the action of Congress, 
the President was given authority to set aside forest reserva- 
tions. Previous to this time forestry in the United States 
was chiefly propaganda. There were less than a half dozen 
trained foresters in the entire country. It was soon found 
necessary, however, to appoint supervisors, forest rangers, and 
other forest officers to take charge of the newly created reser- 
vations. The work was organized with men having little or 
no knowledge of technical forestry. Even before the creation 
of the National forests some of the states had begun to develop 
a progressive forest policy and to acquire land for state forests. 
The beginnings were also made in forestry on privately owned 
timber land. At the beginning of the present century not only 
the National government but many of the states and, to some 
extent, private owners of large forest properties were seeking 
trained foresters. 

As early as 1887 a course of lectures on technical forestry was 
given by Bernhard E. Fernow at the Massachusetts Agricultural 
College. This was the first instruction in forestry given by a 
trained forester at an educational institution in the United 
States. Prior to this date some of the agricultural colleges 
sustained chairs of botany and forestry combined. In no instance, 
however, were the men who occupied them trained foresters, 
nor did they teach technical forestry. 

In 1898 Dr. Fernow resigned his position as chief of the 
Division of Forestry of the United States Department of Agri- 
culture and organized and became director of the New York 
State College of Forestry at Cornell University. This was the 
first school of technical forestry in the United States. About 




c/2 a. 



AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 



the same time a small private school was established by Carl 
A. Schenck at Biltmore, N. C. The former school was aban- 
doned after three years of successful work through the lack of 
state support; the latter is still in existence. 

The great impetus given to American forestry through the 
creation of the National forests, the activities of the separate 
states in furthering a progressive forest policy, and the rapid 
expanse of the work of the Division of Forestry under the new 
chief, Gififord Pinchot, created a demand almost over night 
for a large number of technically trained men. Mr. Pinchot 
had been trained in the forest schools of Europe and became 
the leading figure in American forestry. He soon realized that 
his vision of forest conservation could not be attained without 
an able corps of men thoroughly trained in technical forestry 
and familiar with American life and institutions. The two 
schools, at Cornell and Biltmore, with uncertain tenure of life, 
could not be depended upon to supply the large numbers of 
men immediately required and the continually increasing number 
that would probably be necessary for some years to come. 

Early in the spring of 1900 it was announced by the President 
of Yale University that a gift of one hundred and fifty thousand 
dollars had been received to endow a graduate school of forestry. 
Two ideas of fundamental importance stand forth in this 
announcement; namely, an endowed institution and a graduate 
school. For the first time in America the new profession of 
forestry was placed upon a high plane requiring the best type 
of scholarship and a thorough scientific foundation. The fact 
of an endowed institution assured permanency and the possibility 
of substantial and gradual development. 

The gift under which the School was founded was from Mr. 
and Mrs. James W. Pinchot and their sons, Gifford Pinchot and 
Amos R. E. Pinchot. It provided for a department in the Uni- 
versity to be known as the Yale Forest School and a summer 
school of forestry at Milford, Pike County, Pa. The object 
of the School, as expressed in the terms of the gift, is both 
instruction and research in forestry. The University in accept- 
ing the gift agreed to provide the necessary buildings to house 
the School until the new institution was in a financial position 
to erect buildings for its special use. 



YALE FOREST SCHOOL 



Early in the summer of 1900 Henry Solon Graves, of the 
Division of Forestry, was appointed director of the new School, 
and the following Board of Governors organized the instruction 
and administration: 

Arthur T. Hadley, LL.D., president. 
Henry S. Graves, M.A., professor of forestry. 
William H. Brewer, Ph.D., professor of agriculture. 
Gifford Pinchot, B.A., special lecturer on forest policy. 

The School was fortunate in securing Mr. Graves as its first 
director, and its success is largely due to his foresight and 
counsels and to his high ideals of education in this comparatively 
new field. 

Following the announcement of the School a circular was 
issued outlining the plan and the proposed courses of study. In 
June James W. Toumey, of the Division of Forestry, was 
appointed assistant professor of forestry. 

In the organization of the School it was realized that from the 
standpoint of technical training two classes of men were required 
to successfully carry on the work in forestry in the United 
States. First, men trained in the broad field of technical forestry, 
competent to organize and administer forest property and con- 
duct scientific investigations. Second, men especially skilled in 
the conduct of woods work and fitted for rangers, inspectors 
and foremen. In order to prepare men for the former, the 
Forest School was made a graduate department of the Univer- 
sity. A summer school w^as maintained for several years at 
Milford. Entrance examinations were not required and certifi- 
cates of attendance were issued at the expiration of the eight 
weeks' course. Because of the opportunity that it would give 
school teachers to become familiar with the methods of field 
work, particularly in silviculture and dendrology, the course was 
at first opened to women. 

The Faculty included but one professor of forestry and one 
assistant professor. The remainder of the teaching staff was 
from the other departments of the University. Their work was 
supplemented by courses of special lectures by Gifford Pinchot 
and Frederick H. Newell. 

A two-year course of study w^as prescribed, the terms coin- 
ciding with those of the other departments of the University. 



AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 13 

Entrance requirements were much more liberal than at present. 
Graduates of universities, colleges and scientific schools of high 
standing were accepted without examination, provided they could 
show requisite knowledge of botany, geology and chemistry. 
Others were required to pass examinations in mathematics, 
botany, geology, chemistry, physics, German or French, English 
and political economy. Special students were admitted without 
examination when they were able to present other evidence of 
their fitness to pursue the courses given. The tuition charges 
were one hundred dollars per year. 

Looking back from a perspective of thirteen years the curricu- 
lum is simple in the extreme, and may be characterized by the 
emphasis placed upon courses in botany, geology and zoology, 
and the comparatively limited work in technical forestry. The 
forestry subjects in the curriculum were as follows: outline 
of forestry, silviculture, forest management, forest measure- 
ments, forest technology, lumbering, forest protection, forest 
history, forest administration and state and National forestry. 
With the exception of one short course of six lectures given 
by Gifford Pinchot the entire field was covered by the director 
and the assistant professor. 

Provision was made for field work at New Haven, Milford 
and in the Adirondack Mountains. In the first announcement 
of the courses, field work was only briefly mentioned as follows : 
"Frequent excursions will be taken to points of interest near 
New Haven. In the spring of the second year the work will be 
transferred from New Haven to the field, the first few weeks 
being spent in Pennsylvania and the remaining time in the 
.Adirondacks." 

1900-1901 
The first term of the regular course began on Thursday, 
September 27, 1900. Seven students were enrolled and remained 
to complete the two years' course, and in addition thirteen 
Academic and two Sheffield students attended one or more 
courses. The director and four of the regular students lived 
in Marsh Hall, which was provided by the University for the 
use of the School. In November, 1900, the first annual catalogue 
of the School was published, and included practically the same 



14 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

subject matter as the preliminary announcement. There was a 
more detailed account of the field work, and a list of the seven 
students in attendance. 

During- the year the School received in gifts to its equipment 
a splendid collection of axes and a large number of wood-work- 
ing tools from W. D. Simmons of St. Louis, Mo., and a valuable 
collection of saws from H. C. Atkins of Indianapolis, Ind. Mr. 
Tourney gave his herbarium containing two thousand five 
hundred species of indigenous trees and shrubs to the School. 
The library was enlarged through the gift of three hundred 
and twenty-five volumes from Gifford Pinchot. 

1901-1902 

Early in 1901 an illustrated circular announcing the Yale 
Summer School of Forestry was published. The course as 
planned, and later carried out, covered a period of eight weeks 
beginning July 8, 1901. No entrance examinations were 
required, but no one under seventeen years of age was admitted. 
The teaching staff consisted of the director and the assistant 
professor. The following courses were offered: introduction to 
forestry, silviculture, forest botany, forest measurements and 
forest protection. Twenty-seven students were enrolled, seven 
of whom were women. The latter had all the privileges of the 
School with the exception of living and boarding in camp. 

At the opening of the regular course in 1901 the previous 
year's class of seven members was augmented by three men 
from the Division of Forestry. The Junior class had a member- 
ship of twenty-one. The School was now for the first time in 
full operation, and the Faculty was called upon to give instruc- 
tion in all the courses offered in the curriculum. In many 
respects, from the standpoint of instruction, it was the most 
critical period in the history of the School. With more than 
four times as many students as the previous year, and with the 
technical courses of the Senior year given for the first time, 
the burden of instruction was very great. The following courses 
were added: forest entomology% forest administration and law, 
and forest administration abroad. 

During the second year the field work was more fully organ- 
ized. A year before an agreement was made by the School 



AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 15 

and the New Haven Water Company whereby a portion of 
the forest property of the company was placed under the man- 
agement of the School, thus making a large body of woodland 
near New Haven available for purposes of instruction and 
experiment. The field work in silviculture was chiefly confined 
to this tract. Arrangements were made for the Seniors to spend 
the last three weeks of the autumn term in lumber camps in 
northern New England. 

After the Easter recess the work with the Senior class was 
transferred to Central Valley, N. Y., where the entire spring 
term was devoted to field work. A working plan was prepared 
for a forest of 15,000 acres owned by E. H. Harriman of New 
York. 

On the completion of their work, for the college year ending 
June, 1902, the degree Master of Forestry was conferred upon 
eight members of the Senior class, and the first graduates of 
the School were ready to begin their professional careers in a 
field just beginning to develop rapidly in the United States. 
Soon after graduating, two members of the Class, namely, Roy 
L. Marston and Alfred Akerman, were engaged as instructors. 

I 902- I 903 

The second session of the summer school was under Mr. 
Toumey, who was assisted by Walter Mulford, State Forester 
of Connecticut. Nineteen students were in attendance, of whom 
six were women. A large percentage of the male students were 
undergraduates from Eastern universities and colleges, nine 
of whom later entered the School for the regular two-year 
course. 

The curriculum was greatly extended and the courses re- 
arranged during the third year. In September, 1902, Alfred 
Akerman and Roy L. Marston began their work as instructors. 
The position of assistant in botany, occupied the previous year 
by C. E. Preston, was filled by Arthur H. Graves. Howard S. 
Betts was appointed assistant in the wood testing laboratory, 
and Herman von Schrenk lecturer on diseases of trees to take 
the position formerly occupied by William C. Sturgis. 

At the opening of the term twenty-six men enrolled in the 
entering class. Heretofore the students had been largely drawn 



1 6 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

from the Eastern states. In this class, however, all parts of 
the United States were represented, and one student came from 
Japan. The National character of the School for the first time 
became apparent in its student body. The course formerly given 
by Mr. Verrill was given by Mr. Britton, State Entomologist 
of Connecticut. The courses in introduction to forestry and 
history of forestry were taken by Mr. Akerman, who also 
assisted Director Graves in the work in silviculture. The courses 
in lumbering and forest protection were taken by Mr. Marston, 
who also assisted Director Graves in forest management. The 
work in engineering was extended. Field surveying was given 
by Mr. Tracy, and a new course in forest engineering was 
under Mr. Marston. Through the generosity of George H. 
Myers, M.F. '02, three thousand dollars was received to pay 
for the equipment of a laboratory in forest technology, and 
instruction in timber testing was given by Mr. Betts. Through 
cooperation with the Division of Forestry the laboratory was 
opened for investigation on the mechanical properties of wood. 

In the early winter (December, 1902) the members of the 
Senior class were located in lumber camps in Maine, New 
Hampshire, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, 
Florida and Texas. Each student prepared a detailed report 
on lumbering in the region studied. The spring field work 
with the Senior class was at West Point Military Reservation, 
where a study was made of a large hardwood tract east of the 
Hudson River. The area was mapped and a working plan made 
under which it has since been managed. 

There was a large increase in attendance, the registration in 
the regular course being forty-four students compared with 
thirty-three the previous year. They represented twenty-three 
collegiate institutions in fifteen states. 

The endowment of the School was increased through the gift 
of fifty thousand dollars by Mrs. J. W. Pinchot and Gifford 
Pinchot. This gift enabled the Governing Board very materially 
to modify the courses of study, add a summer term to the regular 
course, and greatly increase the field work. The principal addi- 
tions to the equipment of the School were through the purchase 
of a portion of the technical library of the late Charles Mohr. 



AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 17 

1903-1904 

The third session of the summer school, which opened on July 
I, 1903, was reduced to seven weeks. Mr. Marston was in 
charge. The curriculum remained unchanged with the exception 
of greater diversity in the work, due to the larger number of 
special lectures. Fifteen students were in attendance, none of 
whom were women. Of those in attendance seven later entered 
the regular course. Mr. Akerman resigned at the close of the 
collegiate year in June and accepted the position of State Forester 
of Massachusetts. 

The registration in the regular course was sixty-six, repre- 
senting thirty-three collegiate institutions in twenty-three states. 
There was one student each from the Philippine Islands and 
Sweden. The large increase in students in the Senior class was 
partly due to the discontinuance of the College of Forestry 
at Cornell University. Special arrangements were made whereby 
students from that institution were admitted to the Yale Forest 
School, and ten men availed themselves of this arrangement. 

Although no additions were made to the list of regular 
instructors, it became necessary to employ a number of tempo- 
rary assistants because of the unexpectedly large number of 
students. Walter Mulford was employed to assist in the courses 
in silviculture and forest mensuration, and Austin Cary in the 
field work of the Senior class at Milford. Harry Tiemann, 
M.F. '03, was appointed engineer in the technological laboratory 
in the place of H. S. Betts, and continued in this position until 
1909, when work in cooperation with the United States Govern- 
ment was discontinued. 

In late December a disastrous fire broke out in Marsh Hall. 
It started in the basement and burned or severely injured the 
testing laboratory, the assembly hall, two recitation rooms and 
the instrument room. The School records, the library and 
herbarium were saved. For two weeks at the beginning of the 
winter term recitations and lectures were held at the Sheffield 
Scientific School. The restored building was in many respects 
better adapted to the requirements of the School than before 
the fire. The equipment at the summer school was greatly 
improved by the construction of three buildings which were the 
gift of Mr. and Mrs. James W. Pinchot. Through the further 



YALE FOREST SCHOOL 



generosity of George H. Myers the forest library of the late 
Dr. Robert Hartig was purchased and donated to the School. 
This collection contained fifteen hundred books and pamphlets 
representing the accumulation of many years. It is particularly 
rich in German periodicals and early books and pamphlets on 
forestry, many of which are long out of print and difficult to 
obtain. 

For the first time the spring field work of the regular course 
was conducted at Milford, with Mr. Marston and Austin Gary, 
instructors. It later became apparent that it would be necessary 
to rearrange the curriculum and increase the amount of field 
work in order to realize more fully the object of instruction. 
During the winter an announcement was published of proposed 
changes in the curriculum. Experience had shown that the 
courses in forest mensuration and silviculture could not be 
satisfactorily taught without more field work. It became neces- 
sary to add to the Junior year a term wholly devoted to field 
work. Accordingly, the Junior year in 1904 opened at Milford 
at the same time as the summer school. 

Heretofore the tuition for the Junior and Senior years was 
one hundred dollars each. Beginning in July, 1904, it was raised 
to one hundred and fifty dollars for the Junior year, and a year 
later to one hundred and twenty-five dollars for the Senior year. 
To the present no further changes in tuition charges have been 
made. 

Thereafter the Junior class met at the School camp at Milford 
with the summer school students. The field and classroom work 
of the two classes, however, were wholly distinct and usually 
under separate instructors. The session of the summer school 
was seven weeks as in the previous year, but the regular term 
continued three weeks longer. Two distinct bodies of students 
tented in the same encampment and dined together, but the 
character of the instruction was necessarily wholly different. 

1904-1905 
Under this new arrangement the Junior courses in the sum- 
mer of 1904 were given by Director Graves, assisted by E. E. 
Carter, M.F. '04. Mr. Toumey was assisted by A. H. Graves 
in carrying the work of the summer school. The work with 



AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 19 

the Juniors was confined to the following courses: foundation 
of silviculture, treatment of woodlands and forest mensuration. 
Thirty- four men were enrolled in the Junior class and eighteen 
in the summer school. 

The experiment of shifting a large part of the field work 
to an extra summer term proved successful. At the opening 
of the autumn term at New Haven the total attendance was 
sixty-three exclusive of those from other departments. 

The next year surveying was transferred to the summer term. 
On January 2, 1905, both the Junior and Senior classes met in 
Washington, D. C, to attend the Forest Congress. For one 
week the students attended the sessions of the Congress and the 
following week a series of specially arranged addresses and 
lectures to which students from other schools were also invited. 

The Forest Club, composed of Faculty and students, was 
organized and has continued to meet on alternate Wednesday 
evenings except in the summer term. During the early winter 
a group of Seniors with a smaller number of Juniors met and 
organized the Robin Hood Society of Foresters. After an 
existence of six years the organization was discontinued. The 
accumulated funds in the treasury of the society to the extent 
of more than five hundred dollars were contributed to the 
Graduates Fund of the School. 

Shortly after the opening of the winter term Director Graves 
was commissioned by the Forest Service to visit India and the 
Philippine Islands to secure information relative to educational 
instruction in forestry that would best fit students for the prac- 
tice of forestry in tropical regions and particularly in the Philip- 
pine Islands. During the six months of Director Graves' absence 
Mr. Tourney was acting director, and B. E. Fernow, the former 
director of the New York State College of Forestry, conducted 
some of the courses. A. F. Hawes, M.F. '03, State Forester of 
Connecticut, also assisted in instruction. 

As in the previous year, after the Easter recess, the work 
with the Senior class was transferred to the School camp at 
Milford. It became apparent, however, that it was unwise to 
continue the spring field work at this place since the men were 
already thoroughly familiar with the region. It seemed desir- 
able that a wholly new field be selected for the spring work 



YALE FOREST SCHOOL 



where lumbering operations were in progress and where condi- 
tions were better suited for the preparation of forest maps, 
the projection of logging roads, the estimating of timber and 
the making of working plans. Since the spring of 1905 it has 
been conducted on large tracts of virgin timber in the South. 

The most important addition to the collections of the School 
during the year was a large assortment of forest products from 
the St. Louis Exposition. A former collection of exotic woods 
from the Buffalo Exposition had been severely damaged the 
year before in the fire at the School. The material from St. 
Louis and much besides is stored because of lack of space for 
display. As soon as a School building is erected this material 
can be arranged and made available for exhibition and purposes 
of instruction. 

As in former years the majority of the twenty-nine members 
of the graduating class entered the Forest Service. The rapid 
expansion of the work of the Government under the direction 
of Giftord Pinchot gave opportunity for all who desired to begin 
the practice of their profession on the National Forests, which 
had been only recently transferred from the Department of the 
Interior to the Department of Agriculture and placed directly 
under the management of the Forest Service. 

• 
I 905- I 906 

The year beginning July, 1905, was the most satisfactory 
from the standpoint of the curriculum since the organization 
of the School. The instruction was made more efficient and 
foundations were laid for still further improvements the fol- 
lowing year. The important change in the engineering courses 
became effective at the opening of the summer term. The 
course was conducted by J. C. Tracy, assisted by C. S. Farnham 
and W. L. Ulrich. For the first time a course in field dendrol- 
ogy was included in the summer work. Since 1905 there have 
been no marked changes in the courses as given at Milford. 
Only three courses are offered; namely, surveying, forest 
mensuration and field dendrology. Among the thirty-six men 
enrolled in the regular course were students from Canada, 
Norway, Sandwich Islands and South Africa. Eighteen attended 
the summer school, five of whom later entered the regular course. 



AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 



Herman H. Chapman, M.F. '04, of the Forest Service, was 
employed as assistant during the winter and spring terms. A 
course in State Forest law was given during the winter by Mr. 
Chapman. In April Mr. Marston resigned to enter the lumber 
business in Maine, and the lield work in lumbering as formerly 
conducted by locating the students in lumber camps for a period 
of three weeks after the Thanksgiving recess was abandoned. 
The Senior field work of the spring term was conducted at 
Waterville, N. H., on a tract of 22,000 acres owned by the 
International Paper Company. The topographic work was under 
the direction of Henry Gannett, geographer of the United States 
Geological Survey. The forest work was conducted by Mr. 
Chapman. 

The field work in silviculture was better organized, the autumn 
term being devoted to silvical excursions and investigations in 
the woods about New Haven and the remainder of the year to 
thinnings, improvement cuttings, nursery work, seeding and 
planting. 

The importance of lumbering as a part of the curriculum 
was recognized by the National Lumber Manufacturers' Asso- 
ciation at their annual meeting in 1905, and they voted to 
raise a fund to endow a chair of lumbering. Sixty thousand 
dollars was immediately pledged, and in the autumn turned 
over to the treasurer of the University, and in 1910 an additional 
forty thousand dollars was received. This fund has been of 
great value to the School as it made possible the appointment 
of R. C. Bryant of the Forest Service to take charge of the 
work in lumbering. Mr. Bryant began his work in September, 
1906. 

During the year an Advisory Board was appointed from the 
graduates and proved very important in furthering the interests 
of the School and bringing the alumni into closer touch with 
its activities. The members of the first Advisory Board were 
G. H. Myers, M.F. '02, J. G. Peters, M.F. '03, and W. B. 
Greeley, M.F. '04. 

1906-1907 
The year 1906 marked a long step forward in improving the 
curriculum. This was made possible through the addition to 



YALE FOREST SCHOOL 



the Faculty of three instructors in forestry, namely Messrs. 
Chapman, Bryant and Hawley, each of whom was given a 
definite line of work which they have been pursuing and 
strengthening up to the present time. This marks a definite 
stage in the development of the curriculum because it is the 
beginning of the separation of the work into specific courses 
continuously handled by the same instructors. It gave an oppor- 
tunity for the courses to develop and expand with succeeding 
years. Hitherto the lack of funds and available instructors of 
experience prevented the development of a Faculty adequate 
for the constantly increasing work of the School. The work 
of instruction as then organized was conducted by three groups 
of men: first, the regular Faculty, consisting of five resident 
members whose time was wholly given to the School and who 
conducted the technical courses in forestry; second, members 
of other departments of the University who gave specially 
arranged courses in auxiliary subjects ; third, non-resident, 
special lecturers. 

An important feature of the year was the development of the 
course in lumbering under Mr. Bryant. The work was organ- 
ized with the advice of a committee from the National Lumber 
Manufacturers' Association. This advisory committee consisted 
of Nelson W. McLeod and Clifford I. Millard of St. Louis and 
Frederick E. Weyerhaeuser of St. Paul. The lectures in this 
subject were given by Mr. Bryant assisted by the members of 
the committee as special lecturers. Through the generosity of 
J. B. White the plant of the Missouri Lumber & Mining Com- 
pany in southern Missouri was placed at the disposal of the 
School for the spring work of the Senior class. The work in 
the woods was conducted by Mr. Chapman, who was assisted 
in the topographic work by Henry Gannett of the United States 
Geological Survey. Mr. Bryant had charge of the work relating 
directly to lumbering. This proved so successful that the field 
work of the Senior class has since followed the same general 
plan. 

I 907- I 908 

The increased demand for foresters by the National govern- 
ment, by states, and by private owners of woodland, resulted 
in the rapid development of facilities for instruction. As early 



AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 23 

as 1907 seventeen institutions in the United States and Canada 
were offering instruction in forestry and five institutions had 
fully organized departments or schools for high-grade training. 
The standard required for the profession of forestry was becom- 
ing higher each year and already many of the graduates of 
minor schools found it difficult to find remunerative positions. 

Six classes had now graduated with a total enrollment of 
127. This does not include 'i^j men who did not take the full 
course. The occupations of the 127 graduates of the first six 
classes, in July, 1907, is shown in the following table : 

In the Forest Service 74

Deceased i 

Hitherto there had been but one program of study prescribed 
for all students. All subjects in the regular course were required 
for the degree. A greater number of students were each year 
applying for admittance with advanced standing, having already 
had courses in technical forestry in other institutions. To supply 
this demand a number of advanced courses in forest technology, 
silviculture, lumbering and forest management were offered for 
the first time. 

The spring work of the Senior class was conducted in Ala- 
bama on a tract of virgin forest owned by the Kaul Lumber 
Company. Hitherto nearly all the field work at New Haven 
was at Maltby Park, a comparatively small portion of the lands 
owned by the New Haven Water Company. During this year 
Mr. Hawley was employed as consulting forester for the com- 
pany. Under this arrangement the School obtained the privilege 
of conducting field work on all the lands owned by the company, 
aggregating eight thousand acres, of which more than one-half 
is covered with forest, under an organized system of manage- 
ment. The open land is gradually being planted. This large 
tract of permanent forest near New Haven and within easy 



24 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

reach of the School is yearly becoming of greater importance 
for purposes of instruction. 

With the decrease in the number of special lectures in the 
regular course, the Forest Club has been the avenue through 
which foresters and other scientific men visiting New Haven 
have been introduced to the School. 

At the close of the work of the Senior class at New Haven 
in February, 1908, formal exercises were held for the first time. 
The principal address was by Giflford Pinchot. Other speakers 
were President Hadley, the Director of the School, W. B. 
Greeley and H. R. MacMillan, the latter representing the grad- 
uating class. These exercises continue to be held each year at 
New Haven before the Senior class leaves for the South. 

1908-1909 

In 1908 R. C. Bryant and R. C. Hawley were promoted to 
the rank of assistant professors. It was becoming more and 
more apparent, in order to meet the needs of technical instruc- 
tion, that it would be necessary to lengthen the course to three 
years or else increase the requirements for admission. The 
latter course was followed. Early in the year a circular was 
issued announcing that candidates for admission for the degree 
Master of Forestry, in addition to completing an undergraduate 
college course, must have pursued certain specified subjects. 
The new requirements did not go into effect for two years in 
order that undergraduates then preparing for the School could 
arrange to cover the required work. Arrangements had been 
made with the Sheffield Scientific School whereby students in 
that institution, by taking certain studies in the Forest School 
during the last year of their undergraduate course, could com- 
plete the work at the Forest School in one year. With the grad- 
ual extension of the curriculum and the increase in the number 
of required subjects, this arrangement became more and more 
difficult. Through action of the Governing Board the old 
arrangement was discontinued, to go into effect at the opening 
of the school year 1910. 

The field work of the Senior class was conducted at Doucette, 
Tyler County, Texas, on the lands of the Thompson Brothers 
Lumber Company. The New Haven Water Company began 



AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 25 

the extensive planting of waste areas. Nurseries were estab- 
lished and plans made to reforest by planting during the next 
decade from 1,500 to 2,000 acres of open land. The work on 
the forested areas was progressing rapidly and already there 
were many instructive illustrations of the results of applied 
forestry. 

1909-1910 

The tenth class to enroll at the School entered in July, 1909. 
There had been a gradual increase in attendance since the 
organization of the School. From seven students in 1900 the 
number had increased in 1909 to thirty-seven in the Senior class 
and forty-five in the Junior, not including five enrolled for the 
summer term only. In addition to the regular students fifteen 
were enrolled in the short course and twelve from other 
departments of the University. 

This year marked the discontinuance of the summer school. 
The rapid development of secondary forest schools and depart- 
ments of forestry in various institutions lessened somewhat the 
demand for this course. Furthermore the large increase in the 
number of students in the regular course made it difficult to 
provide instructors from among the members of the Faculty. 
During the existence of the summer school there were enrolled 
a total of 159 students or a yearly average of 18. 

S. J. Record was appointed instructor in forestry early in the 
year and W. O. Filley field assistant. In January the School 
suffered a distinct loss in the indefinite leave of absence granted 
the director on his appointment by President Taft to the posi- 
tion of Forester of the United States Forest Service. Mr. 
Tourney became acting director. The Senior field work was 
conducted at Clarks, La., on the property of the Central 
Louisiana Lumber Company. 

The large increase in attendance called for more space for 
laboratories and lecture rooms. Marsh Hall was overcrowded, 
making it necessary to duplicate certain courses. As there was 
no prospect of a new building suitable for the needs of the 
School, the timber testing laboratory, only used for a few months 
each year, was dismantled to make space for more imperative 
needs. 



26 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

Early in the year Mrs. Morris K. Jesup of New York gave 
an endowment of $100,000 for a professorship of silviculture, 
and Mr. Tourney was appointed the Morris K. Jesup professor 
of silviculture. 

191Q-1911 

At the opening of the summer term in 1910 it became apparent 
that an increasing number of men were being drawn from other 
institutions where, forestry was taught. During the year five 
graduates in forestry from other schools were in attendance. 
Twenty-six states and foreign countries were represented in the 
student body, which was the same as in the previous year. No 
change in the distribution of the student body, due to the rapid 
development of forest schools and departments of forestry else- 
where in the country, was apparent. With the beginning of the 
year the curriculum was rearranged and all the courses became 
technical in character. The following changes were made in the 
teaching staff: Messrs. Chapman and Bryant were made full 
professors, S. J. Record was promoted to be assistant professor 
and W. O. Filley resigned and accepted the position of assistant 
forester of Connecticut. 

The Senior field work was conducted at Trinity, Texas. The 
unusually large class made it necessary to employ two temporary 
field assistants, C. A. Hoar, M.F. '10, and Harold Fay, M.F. '10. 

Nearly three years previous the task of increasing the 
resources of the School by five hundred thousand dollars was 
undertaken. The large increase in the number of students made 
the need of a new building almost imperative. Money was 
needed for salary increases and for experimental work and pub- 
lications. At the close of the year the total receipts toward this 
fund were two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. At the end 
of the year forty-three men completed the course and received 
the degree Master of Forestry. This is the largest number that 
received the degree in a single year since the organization of the 
School. 

1911-1912 

For the past two years the requirements for admission were 
given considerable attention. In the curriculum as first formed 
there were many botanical, zoological and other courses which 




u 



AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 27 

in their scope paralleled the undergraduate work in colleges and 
universities. These subjects were deemed necessary because 
most applicants were poorly prepared in them, and it appeared 
advisable to incorporate them in the requirements for admission. 
The applicant must now hold a degree from a high-grade uni- 
versity, college or technical school and in addition present evi- 
dence that he has taken at least one full year in college or 
university botany, including general morphology, histology and 
physiology of plants ; at least one college course in zoology, 
physics, inorganic chemistry, geology, economics, mechanical 
drawing, the completion of mathematics through trigonometry, 
and has a reading knowledge of French or German. 

The effect of this was apparent in the class that entered under 
the new requirements in 191 1. It resulted in a marked advance 
in scholarship due to a more thorough preparation in the sci- 
ences which are a foundation for forestry. In most respects 
the first year's operation of the new schedule was highly satis- 
factory. The elimination of general science and most of the 
special lecture courses gave the much needed opportunity to 
increase the technical work. The requirements in both silvi- 
culture and management were nearly doubled. There was a 
sharp falling off in attendance, but to what extent it was due 
to this change is not known. It is believed to have been partly 
due to the rapid increase in the number of schools. The 
attendance for the year was sixty, a decrease of forty-two from 
that of the previous year. This made no appreciable difference 
in the wide distribution of the students, as the sixty men enrolled 
were from twenty-five states. 

The revised schedule, calling for additional field work in 
silviculture, made it necessary for the Junior class to spend two 
weeks of the spring term in the Adirondack Mountains. As in 
previous years the Senior field work was conducted in the South. 
The Crossett Lumber Company, Crossett, Ark., granted the use 
of their property for this work. 

The curriculum at this time offered instruction in thirty-six 
courses in forestry subjects, all of a technical nature. They 
varied in length from one to three terms with the exception 
of two short courses on special subjects by outside lecturers. 
It was apparent that the work could not be materially extended. 



28 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

without putting too great a burden on the students, unless some 
of the courses offered were elective. It was believed to be impos- 
sible to omit any of the required courses and still provide an 
all-round training in technical forestry. 

Because of the continued absence of Mr. Graves his resigna- 
tion as director was accepted and Mr. Tourney, who had served 
as acting director for two years, was made director. Mr. Graves 
retained his position as a member of the Governing Board 
and of the Faculty, with leave extended for another year. 
Arrangements were completed whereby Mr. Record, beginning 
with the year 1912-13, would carry the work in technology for- 
merly given by Mr. Dean and the course on the classification and 
structure of wood formerly given by A. H. Graves. 

For the first time since the organization of the School the 
library was placed in charge of a trained librarian, Miss L M. 
Tisdale, formerly on the staff of the University Library. The 
library had grown to such proportions that this was necessary 
in order to properly catalogue and put it in form for ready 
reference and greater usefulness. 

The publication of a series of bulletins, memoirs and mis- 
cellaneous works relating to the School was begun. This was 
of vast importance as it gave the School a wider field of use- 
fulness and brought it in closer touch with the alumni and the 
general public. 

A graduate Advisory Board had been elected in 1905 in order 
to bring the School into closer relations with the alumni. At 
first it had consisted of but three members, but was later enlarged 
to five, and has been of continually increasing usefulness. Dur- 
ing this year the School was brought into closer relations with 
the alumni through the organization of the alumni association 
with officers and class secretaries. This association met at New 
Haven on December 20 and 21, 191 1, and the following officers 
were elected for five years : 

President, W. B. Greeley, M.F. '04. 
Vice-president, T. S. Woolsey, Jr., M.F. '03. 
Secretary and treasurer, H. H. Chapman, M.F. '04. 

This association not only afforded an opportunity for the 
organization of the alumni into an effective body and familiar- 
ized them with the progress of the School, but it served as a 



AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 29 

stimulus to permanently establish a graduates' fund. The sub- 
scriptions to this fund during the first meeting of the associa- 
tion were more than four thousand dollars. A gift of one 
thousand dollars was received from William Wheeler of Buffalo, 
N. Y., the income to be given yearly as a prize for meritorious 
work in silviculture. 

The first number of the series of bulletins and memoirs pub- 
lished by the School was issued in February, 1912. This is "A 
Classification for Forestry Literature" and is the classification 
used in the School library. In February, 19 12, the report of 
the alumni reunion was published and distributed. Two impor- 
tant manuals dealing with forestry subjects were published by 
members of the Faculty during the year, namely: "Forestry in 
New England" by Mr. Hawley, in collaboration with Mr. 
Hawes, State Forester of Vermont, and "Identification of the 
Economic Woods of the United States" by Mr. Record. 

A conference of American Forest Schools was called in 
December, 1909, to consider the aim, scope, grade and length 
of curriculum as the first step in the standardization of forestry- 
education. At this conference a committee was appointed to 
draw up a plan for the standardization of the requirements for 
technical training in forestry. Director Graves was appointed 
chairman; other members of the committee were B. E. Fernow, 
R. T. Fisher, Filibert Roth and Gifford Pinchot. A second 
conference was called in December, 191 1. Nearly all American 
institutions offering instruction in forestry were represented. 
The plan of the committee was discussed in detail and it was 
agreed to publish the report in the Forestry Quarterly. The 
committee was continued, and on the resignation of the chair- 
man his place was taken by Mr. Toumey. The report of the 
committee was published in Volume X, Number 3, of the For- 
estry Quarterly, and widely distributed. The importance of 
this report, its influence on forestry education in America, and 
the part taken in it by the Yale Forest School, calls for its 
recognition in this historical sketch. 

1912-1913 
The total number of students enrolled during the year was 
fifty. It became still more evident that the marked falling off 



30 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

in attendance, first noticeable in the previous year's class and 
still more conspicuous in the enrollment for the year 1912-13, 
was due to two fundamental causes : first, the continued increase 
in the facilities for forestry education in the United States; 
second, the keener competition for profitable employment after 
graduation. To what extent these conditions will afifect future 
attendance at the school it is uncertain. Future classes are likely 
to be smaller and to include a constantly increasing number of 
students from other schools who come to Yale to complete their 
technical training. 

Shortly after the organization of the alumni association in 
December, 191 1, a movement was set on foot to publish a quar- 
terly to be known as the Yale Forest School News. The grad- 
uate Advisory Board undertook the financing and management 
of the proposed publication. The first number of this new 
quarterly appeared in January, 1913, with the following officers 
in charge: 

Editor, W. B. Greeley, M.F. '04. 
Alumni notes, H. H. Chapman, M.F. '04. 
Managing editor, S. J. Record, M.F. '05. 

The Yale Forest School Nezvs was well received from the first. 
It serves a much needed purpose as a medium for communication 
between the alumni and the officers of instruction. 

Bulletin 2, "Prolonging the Cut of Southern Pine," by 
Messrs. Chapman and Bryant, was published in February, 1913. 

The field work of the Senior class was conducted at Warren, 
Ark., and the spring field work of the Junior class in the 
Adirondack Mountains. 

In June, 1913, six hundred and twenty-five acres of land at 
Keene, N. H., were presented to the School by George H. Myers, 
M.F. '02, as the nucleus for a School forest. 

OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE 

This historical sketch of the development of the Yale Forest 
School from its organization until the close of the school year 
in June, 1913, would not be complete without a brief statement 
relatinsf to its outlook for the future. As stated in the address 



AN HISTORICAL SKETCH 31 

of the director before the alumni in December, 191 1, the future 
development of the School must be along the following lines : 

a. In adding to the efficiency of the present courses ; 

b. In estabhshing elective courses in the Senior year; 

c. In increasing our facilities for research and advanced v^^ork. 



The need of the first of these is always present because no 
course is so complete that it does not require constant atten- 
tion on the part of the instructor in order to keep it abreast of 
the times and effective from an educational standpoint. 

As regards the second, it is believed that the time is already 
at hand when elective courses should be considered. Because 
of the large amount of required work it is not possible to add 
many optional courses, such as the course on park and street 
trees offered for the first time in 191 1, and four proposed 
optional courses to be given for the first time in 1913-14. Addi- 
tional courses must be largely elective in the Senior year, 
substituted for some of those required at the present time. 

Forestry is a very broad and diversified subject. The training 
required for work in one particular branch may be quite dif- 
ferent from that required in another. Thus a man who devotes 
himself to the reproduction, development and growth of timber 
should specialize in silviculture and management, while one 
whose chief attention is given to utilization should specialize 
in lumbering and technology. 

Regarding the third, it is useless to offer advanced work 
unless there are students prepared to take it. In general, such 
work is only open to those who have already completed the 
regular course or what is deemed equivalent in other institutions. 
Fellowships are needed to stimulate advanced work and to 
induce able men to come to Yale and continue along some 
particular line in forestry. 

With the expanded work of the school it is possible that the 
best interests of the profession can be served by opening certain 
courses to men with woods experience who are not college or 
university graduates, but who desire to enter the School as 
special students in order to secure instruction along some 
particular line. 



32 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

The Treasurer's reports for the past twelve years show the 
yearly income from tuition and from endowment to be as 
follows : 

Income from Income from 

Tuition Endowment 

1900 $ 861.52 

1901 $ 1,240.00 6,666.80 

1902 3,373-^4 7,351.05 

1903 4,585-32 7.224.71 

1904 6,859.51 8,902.42 

1905 5,99750 8,568.95 

1906 6,026.34 7,951.66 

1907 6,469.34 9.507-89 

1908 7,269.41 10,057.62 

1909 8,085.24 10,811.47 

1910 1 1,681.39 12,280.22 

1911 1 1,720.50 17,701.74 

1912 -. 7,765.76 20,706.40 

From this table it appears that the increase in annual income 
is from both tuition and endowment. With our student body 
approximately the same in numbers as now, our present endow- 
ment will carry the work of the School as now conducted and 
provide for minor extensions, particularly in the direction of 
publications. It will not, however, entirely provide for neces- 
sary increases in the salaries of the younger members of the 
Faculty which must be met in the immediate future, or for the 
extension of the curriculum and the advancement of the School 
along the various lines already begun or that have been 
suggested. 

With the smaller classes of the past two years Marsh Hall 
as now arranged provides sufficient space for necessary lecture 
rooms, but laboratory facilities are insufficient, the library is 
overcrowded and there is no space for the display of collections. 

The work accomplished by the School is expressed in the 
biographical records of her alumni which appear in this volume. 
These records clearly show to what extent Yale men are 
identified with and are responsible for the development of 
forestry in America.

GRADUATES CLASS OF 1902 37 

Alfred K. Chittenden 

Business address. Engineering Experiment Station, Urbana, III. 
Residence, Champaign, 111. 

Alfred Knight Chittenden was born October 28, 1879, in New Haven, 
Conn., the son of Professor Russell Henry Chittenden, Ph.D., Sc.D., 
LL.D., Yale '75 S., director of the Sheffield Scientific School, and Ger- 
trude Louise (Baldwin) Chittenden. He has two sisters, Edith Russell 
Chittenden, B.A. Smith '99, and Lilla Millard (Chittenden) Barbour, 
wife of Henry Gray Barbour, B.A. Trinity '06, M.D. Johns Hopkins 
'10, who was appointed assistant professor of pharmacology in the Yale 
Medical School in 1912. 

He was prepared at the Hopkins Grammar School of New Haven 
and graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School in 1900. In the 
Scientific School he took the Civil Engineer Course, received general 
scholastic honors, and was a member of the scholarship society, Sigma 
Xi. 

He was married February 11, 1908, in Washington, D. C, to Miss 
Lulu W. Brower of Washington. 

Chittenden is director of the engineering' experiment station 
and lecturer on timber and timber resources at the College of 
Engineering of the University of Illinois. After graduation 
from the Forest School he went abroad for seven months to 
study forest conditions in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, 
France and England. On returning to the United States he 
entered the United States Forest Service and has since worked 
in nearly every state in the Union, serving successively as forest 
assistant, chief of the section of cooperation, assistant district 
forester and forest inspector. For a year, in 1907, he was in 
private business in Baltimore, doing consulting forestry work 
under the firm name of Chittenden & Patterson. On September 
20, 191 1, he was appointed forester in the United States Indian 
Service with headquarters in Washington, D. C. This position 
he held until receiving his present appointment. 

He writes : "The Indian Service has a well developed Forest 
Service which is handling all timber matters on the Indian 
Reservations. There are thirty-one saw mills on the reserva- 
tions operated for the benefit of the Indians by the Government. 
These mills vary in size from small portable mills to the large 
mill, with a daily capacity of over 200,000 feet, on the Menominee 
Indian Reservation in Wisconsin. 



38 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

"The total area of Indian timber lands is roughly estimated at 
6,500,000 acres, containing- approximately 38,000,000,000 feet of 
timber, and valued at over $84,000,000. In order to protect and 
properly administer these resources a considerable force of men 
is employed, consisting of forest guards, rangers, scalers, lum- 
bermen and technically trained foresters. The work is in many 
respects similar to that of the Forest Service, except that no 
purely investigative work is carried on and that where it seems 
advisable timber is logged, handled and manufactured by the 
Service, the lumber being sold or disposed of for the benefit of 
the Indians. A considerable amount of permanent improvement 
work is being carried on, roads, trails, telephone lines, cabins, 
corrals and fences being constructed. The Indian timber lands, 
unlike the National Forests, were not set aside for protective 
purposes, but for the use and benefit of the Indians. Much of 
the timber is located on good agricultural soil, some of which 
is allotted. In such cases clear cutting is practised, all the timber 
being cut and removed, and the Indians encouraged to farm 
this land. On the really forest soil, however, forestry methods 
are followed in logging."

fessor of botany and forestry. In September, 191 1, he was 
appointed professor of forestry at the State College of Wash- 
ington, Pullman, Wash., which position he now holds. 

He writes: "The chief business event of my life since leav- 
ing Yale was the purchase of a thousand-acre farm in Kansas 
in 1905. With but $80 cash in my pocket I obligated myself 
to pay $13,000 in seven years' time at six and a half per cent, 
interest. I always have had the greatest possible faith in agri- 
cultural land as a safe investment, particularly in a country with 
such agricultural resources as Kansas. Before my mortgage 
fell due, I was able to pay it off in full, by selling land at an 
advance in price and by saving from my salary. To-day I own 
1,053 acres of Kansas land free from debt, worth at the lowest 
market price $35,000. I would not part with the land for 
$50,000. Faith in Kansas and 'nerve' have enabled me to be 
the owner of one of the finest stock farms in the United States, 
where I propose to spend my declining years practicing 'farm 
forestry,' plant breeding and stock raising. I hope to teach 
a few years longer, then retire to my farm to practice what I 
have taught." 

Clothier is a member of the Presbyterian church. Of his 
political ideas he writes : "Was a Republican till high tariff 
and legislation promoting trusts drove me first to the Democratic 
party, then to the People's party, then again to the Democratic 
party under Bryan, and now to the Progressive party under 
Roosevelt." He was elected to the office of superintendent 
of public instruction in Wabaun, Kans., by the Populists and 
Democrats in 1892. He is a member of the American Breeders' 
Association, the American Forestry Association, the National 
Geographic Society and of the Gesang and Turn Verein. 

He has written many articles for the Kansas hidiistrialist, Kansas

of Marseille (where not denuded) are covered with pin d'alep 
which during the summer and winter months must exist almost 
entirely without rain. Even at Gresque at an elevation of 350 
meters the rainfall is but 691 millimeters during an average year. 
Add to the summer droughts a temperature of 25° to 37° 
centigrade and the vegetative conditions become intolerable. 
The fellings consequently are light and rarely remove more 
than 25 per cent, of the volume. The selection system is 
employed because in the words of the inspector: 'We are afraid 
of the regular shelterwood fellings because after the parent 
trees are removed the young crop is exposed to the full force 
of the wind and drought. To avoid heavy losses during the 
periodic droughts we employ light selection fellings : if once 
the ground becomes denuded artificial restocking is a difficult 
undertaking.' 

"And no wonder it is difficult! In the Commune of Marseille 
(Serie de reboisement de la Gordiale), the government has pur- 
chased some 800 hectares of denuded calcareous hills as a 
demonstration forest and to temper, if possible, the climate, of 
Marseille by surrounding it with forests. Here a local nursery 
has been established and systematic reforestation is in progress. 
It has taken years of study to determine the best methods. 

"They sow the pin d'alep in seed spots where the conditions 
are not too unfavorable and use ball plants (pot method) where 
seeding results or would result in failures. The sowing and 
planting is in the fall just before or during the rains. Spring 
sowing is equally successful until the summer drought starts 
but during this period the losses are enormous. The seed spots 
are carefully cultivated and cleared of stones and rocks. The 
size varies somewhat but on poor ground the spots are .80 by 
.60 meters and 30 to 35 centimeters deep. They cost from 6 
to 12 cents each, and are irregularly spaced 3 to 4 meters apart 
by a rough quincieux system. When the soil is ready for the 
seed the surface is 2 to 5 inches below the ground level. This 
depression collects the water a little during the rains and pro- 
tects the seedlings against the wind. Perhaps 60 seeds (a small 
handful) are sown in each spot and are raked into the soil 
to a depth of i to ij^ centimeters. As soon as the sowing is 



NON GRADUATES CLASS OF 1903 63 

complete a uniform cover of brush is placed on the seed spot 
and is held down by a good-sized rock. The success of this 
method is phenomenal. Its chief features are : large well- 
worked seed spot; heavy sowing to discount certain loss of at 
least 50 to 90 per cent, of the seedlings which germinate ; the 
brush cover; sowing before or during the rains. 

"The same seed spots are prepared for planting and the pin 
d'alep, after one year in the seed bed and one year in the terra 
cotta pot, is ball planted after the pot is removed. When the 
ground is moist the ball of earth around the roots (often caked 
hard) is loosened to give the roots a better chance. This method 
is so expensive it is only used where absolutely necessary."

Planting and Preservation of City Trees. He is a member of 
the executive committee of the Long Island Agricultural Edu-

Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences; has lectured at the 
Yale Forest School on ornamental and shade trees, and has 
been called by many cities to organize tree commissions for 
them, lecture and start them in their work on the care and 
planting of trees. 

He writes: "My chief interest during the past six years has 
centered around the city tree problem of the country. Seven 
years ago I saw the need of championing forestry among the 
city dwellers and to put the tree problems of our parks on a 
scientific footing. It was all in the hands of untrained men. 
Brooklyn and Queens Park departments offered the opportunity 
for demonstrating the possibilities of such work and from that 
very moment I had to fight against all sorts of odds to introduce 
new methods and get scientific tree care recognized. We are 
still spending nearly $4,000,000 annually on parks in New York 
City and only a very small fraction of this goes to tree work. 
But now we are getting more and more interest in the trees 
and the people are fast becoming educated to it. It had to 
be done by systematic and constant effort in writing, lecturing, 
talking from the platform, defying politicians, etc. I traveled 
to other cities and did the same there and now we have many 
cities awake to it. I am now especially interested in seeing 
municipal forests established in cities and to have these displace 
the common, conventional and extremely expensive formal 
park."

was called to Washington to serve in the capacity of district 
forester for District i. This under the old scheme was in no 
way similar to the present position. It was an assignment to 
handle general omnibus letters for signature of Washington 
office administration officers. Left Washington as assistant 
forest inspector and went to New Mexico to look over the 
Portales with the result of eliminating the entire forest. Came 
back to Montana in the spring of 1907 as forest inspector and 
put the administration on the newly created cabinet. With 
Redington, Class of 1904, worked up the plan of re-districting 
the forests in Montana and Idaho. From 1907 to December i, 
1908, was a general inspection officer. With the creation of the 
district office at Missoula for District i, I was appointed assistant 
district forester, which title was changed later to associate 
district forester upon district forester W. B. Greeley being 
called into Washington as assistant forester. I was made 
district forester July i, 191 1, which position I now hold."

Miller and Ada (Pilson; Miller. They have one son, Bernhard Wester-

Recknagel is professor of forestry in the New York State 
College of Agriculture at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., 
where he teaches forest management, forest utilization and wood 
technology. He has held this position since February i, 1913. 
He writes: "On entering the Forest Service as forest assistant 
in 1906 my first assignment was to Santa Fe, X. Mex., where 
I was engaged in timber sale examinations on the Jemez, Carson 
and Pecos National forests. Transferred in November to the 
Beaver National Forest, Utah, for similar work, and again to 
the Coconino National Forest, Flagstaff, Ariz., in December, 
where I remained on growth studies (western yellow pine), 
marking and estimates until the end of June, 1907, when I was 
ordered in to Washington for timber sale detail. In September 
and again in December I was in Georgia on congressional tours 
and in Tennessee on a woodlot examination. In January I was 
made acting chief of the reorganized section of reconnaissance, 
office of management. This appointment was confirmed in Feb- 
ruary and in April I started on a four months' trip to organize 



132 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

the new field work. This trip carried me to New Mexico, Colo- 
rado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington. I 
returned to Washington, D. C, over the Canadian Pacific from 
Vancouver to Montreal. During August I was in Alabama 
on congressional tours and also conferred with the governors of 
Alabama and of Georgia as to Service cooperation with these 
states. In December I left Washington to take up my duties 
in District 3 as assistant chief of silviculture, remaining there 
for nearly three years or until October, 191 1, when I sailed for 
Europe on a year's leave of absence to study forest conditions 
abroad. 

"The fall semester I enrolled at the Forst Akademie at Ebers- 
walde, near Berlin, then I traveled through Germany, France, 
Switzerland and Austria. I became especially interested in 
the management: i. e., in the working plan practice of the 
various countries, and, on settling at Dresden for some months, 
specialized on this subject, having the Forst Akademie at 
Tharandt conveniently near. 

"Again and again it has been brought home to me that the 
experiences we are making and the stages through which we 
are passing are nothing new but merely the inexorable repeti- 
tion of history modified by changed economic conditions. But 
great as has been the progress made by European nations in 
the science of forestry, it has not resulted in stagnation. New 
ideas and improvements on old methods are constantly being 
introduced and all this makes for progress towards the ideal 
forestry which is, apparently, as far removed from realization 
in Europe as it is in America. 

"This progress of present day forestry in Europe is best 
exemplified, it seems to me, by the turning away from pure 
stands and artificial regeneration toward mixed stands and natural 
regeneration. Throughout Prussia the beech is being coaxed 
back among the Scotch pine stands. Saxony, where spruce 
was raised in pure stands for successive generations, has realized 
that this repetition of the same crop, however profitable, soon 
exhausts the soil. 

"Another striking example of this progress is Professor 
Wagner's 'Blendersaumschlag' or Border Cuttings, whereby 
he regenerates naturally under shelter working from the northern 



GRADUATES CLASS OF 1906 133 

side, where is the maximum of sun and wind protection, towards 
the southern side of the stand. 

"In methods of artificial regeneration what struck me par- 
ticularly is the abandoning of the many complex planting instru- 
ments in favor of that simplest of all tools, the mattock. No 
more jamming of the seedling into the earth with crumpled, 
often injured root system, but a 'natural,' normal planting by 
hand in a mattock-made hole. 

"Finally I must mention the tendency away from large cut- 
ting areas with their attendant increased dangers of fire, drought, 
insects, fungi, wind, etc., towards smaller cutting areas and more 
of them: more points of attack as initial points in a well-planned 
cutting series progressing against the prevailing wind direction."

He was at one time a member of Company C, First Regiment 
of Arizona Militia. He is a member of the Society of American

Clyde Sayers Martin was born September 19, 1884, in Waynesburg, 
Pa., the son of Charles Alexander Martin, one of the first teachers in 
the Calcutta Boys School, India, and Florence Adelaide (Sayers) Martin. 
He is of Scotch-English ancestry. He has one brother, Edwin Ezra 
Martin. 

He received the degree of B.S. in 1905 from De Pauw University, 
where he was a member of Beta Theta Pi. 

He was married June 30, 1909, in Rushville, 111., to Miss Florence 
Alexander Roach of Rushville, daughter of Herschel B. Roach and 
Helen (Chadsey) Roach. They have one son, Charles Alexander 
Martin, born May 9, 1910, in Aberdeen, Wash. 

From 1907 to 1912 Martin was with the Weyerhaeuser Timber 
Company, where he acted as fire warden, inspector, compass- 
man, timekeeper, logging engineer, trespass man and topog- 
rapher. Since July 10, 1912, he has held the position of logging 
engineer with the Saginaw Timber Company. 

He writes : "My work here has grown entirely apart from 
forestry as a profession in itself. It is rather logging engineer- 
ing in its broader sense; going on the theory that after all is 
said and done logging is a problem of transportation primarily. 
In this country of large timber our operations have developed 



GRADUATES CLASS OF 1907 165 

on such a large scale that the larger companies have found 
pressing need for a systematization of methods and accounting. 
A technically trained man working from a basis of thorough 
understanding of present methods and conditions is preeminently 
the man for this work. It takes years of hard preparatory work 
under actual logging conditions to fit a man for such a position, 
but the future promises great things for the man who will 
persevere until he is a recognized authority on scientific logging. 
And it is the forester working from the inside, with a full 
knowledge of actual conditions who can best say to what extent 
forestry may be practiced by the logger. Briefly, these are the 
lines upon which I am working and by which I hope to show 
that there is a field for the technical man in private work." 

He is a member of the Methodist church and in politics is a 
Progressive Republican. He is a member of the Concatenated

Louis S. Murphy 

Business address. United States Forest Service, Washington, D. C. 
Home address, 4 Thurston Street, Winter Hill Station, Boston, Mass. 

Louis Sutliflfe Murphy was born August 10, 1876, in Boston, Mass.. 
the son of Joseph Henry Murphy and Ehzabeth Marion (Atkins) 
Murphy. He is the grandson on his father's side of Michael Thomas 
Murphy, born in Ireland in 1797, and Eleanor Jane (O'Neal) Murphy, 
born in Canterbury, England, in 1806, who were married in Halifax, 
N. S., Canada, in 1831. His mother's foster parents were Sophronia 
Elizabeth Atkins and Caleb Upham Atkins. 

He was prepared at the Forster Grammar School, Somerville, Mass., 
and at the Boston English High School and from July, 1895, to Sep- 
tember, 1897, was a clerk in the insurance office of O'Brion & Russell, 
Boston. In 1901 he received the degree of B.S. from Tufts College, 
where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta. From 1901 to 1905 he was 
employed as chemist in the North Packing & Provision Company of 
Somerville, Mass. 

He is unmarried. 

Murphy has been a forest examiner in the United States 
Forest Service since January, 1910. He was forest assistant 
from July, 1907, to January, 1910. From November, 191 1, to 
May, 1912, he was in Porto Rico studying its forest problems 
and formulating a forest policy for the Island as a whole and 
for Luquillo National Forest. 



GRADUATES CLASS OF 1907 167 

He writes : "Porto Rico presents unusual interest for the 
forester just now, for, unless all signs fail, both the Forest 
Service and the Government of Porto Rico will soon need one 
or more trained foresters to direct the forestry operations which 
each seems destined to institute in the near future. Conditions 
in Porto Rico are ripe for the practice of intensive forestry 
from the start. Formerly well timbered, the Island is now only 
sparsely wooded. Not only have its inhabitants, — now number- 
ing 1,116,000 or 325 persons per square mile, — drawn freely 
upon this resource in the past, and even destroyed it to make 
way for agriculture and cattle raising, but considerable timber 
has also been exported. 

"A dense population, geographic isolation, short hauling dis- 
tances, a productive soil, a year round growing season, and an 
abundant native tree flora, not to mention exotics, constitute 
the materials at hand. The forest fire menace is negligible and 
frosts are unknown, although excessive precipitation, the trade- 
winds, and an occasional hurricane will have to be given con- 
sideration. The production of cabinet woods for export will 
have no place in Porto Rican forestry, since local consumption 
will take care of all that the lands available for forestry will 
produce. Wood for fuel is most urgently needed, also for posts 
and house piling, structural materials for native use, and for 
boxes and crates for the shipment abroad of the fruit and other 
products of the Island. 

"Altogether the working out of a successful forest policy to 
meet these various needs, as well as the demands for a protective 
cover to aid in the control of erosion, for shade along roads 
and in cattle pastures, and the like, holds out alluring possibili- 
ties for those who would enter a pioneer field." 

He attends the Unitarian church and in politics is a Repub- 
lican. From December, 1902, to June, 1905, he served as 
private in Troop A (National Lancers), ist Battalion Cavalry, 
Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. At Yale he received an elec-

Association and the Society of American Foresters, is a Mason 
and belongs to the Somerville Lodge, 917, Benevolent and

the Philippines, not only in exploration of new countries and 
under conditions entirely different from those at home, but in 
the scientific and practical value of the results. There was

enough excitement incidental to these explorations to satisfy 
one for the time. In China and Japan I got an insight into 
these great civilizations and the currents of interest. Especially 
interesting was an extended trip in those parts of China where 
the revolution was at its height but a short time later. In 
District 4, I did extensive work along the Grand Canyon of the 
Colorado and also in the desert regions of Nevada. Since then, 
have been on the intensive problems of New York State."

GRADUATES CLASS OF 1907 173 

Wilber was employed with the WilHam M. Ritter Lumber 
Company of West Virginia from June, 1907, to January, 1908, 
when he became forest assistant in District 4 of the United 
States Forest Service. Since July, 1910, he has held the position 
of New Jersey state fire warden for the New Jersey Forest 
Commission. 

He writes: "Nearly two million acres of forest, largely within 
reach of densely populated centers, traversed by an unusual 
mileage of good roads, criss-crossed by a thousand miles of rail- 
road, and in large part without the telephone, present in New 
Jersey a field of work in forest protection in which a strong 
foundation has been laid, but which still offers a wide scope 
for work on the superstructure. 

"Control of this situation now rests on a state fire warden 
with four helpers, 275 local men under a township warden 
system, and a small corps of fire lookouts and patrolmen. 
Though it has its weaknesses, experience has proved that the 
local system can eventually be relied on. The public understands 
the fight on fire because it sees results and the local effort pro- 
ducing them. The short step from forest protection to forest 
development is taken by yearly increasing numbers. An annual 
retainer of $10 to $20 to the wardens, with reasonable but not 
attractive pay to them and all fighters at a fire, elicits creditable 
activity and ready response whenever need arises. A strict 
requirement of permits for all brush burning throughout the 
year but latitude in handling individual situations by special 
annual permits has engendered universal caution without causing 
excessive inconvenience. Rigid imposition of some penalty for 
every violation of the law, but the possibility of a reasonable 
adjustment of its severity to the specific case, have made 
supporters instead of enemies of most offenders. 

"High efficiency comes slowly, but the fires are growing 
smaller and their aggregate area less. Carelessness is giving 
way to caution. Offenders punished now number hundreds 
yearly. The woodlands, so repeatedly burned heretofore and 
long rated of little value, are showing the effect of fire control, 
for forests are spontaneous throughout the state and their recu- 
perative powers prodigious. New Jersey, therefore, stands 
committed to a policy of establishing forest values, existent and 
potential, by guaranteed protection from fire."

batch to be sent to the National forests. I was first assigned to 
the Old Henry's Lake in Idaho. I was there principally con- 
cerned with timber sale work and secured some figures on the 
workings of the log scale in use in the Service which I am told 
has been of much value. The following summer I spent in the 
Washington office of the Service as district forester. Was 
shortly afterward sent to the Leadville National Forest in Colo- 
rado, where I remained about a year and a half doing principally 
administrative work. In the spring of 1909 I was transferred 
to the Targhee as deputy supervisor, work altogether adminis- 
trative, and that fall was placed in charge of the Pocatello 
Forest, where I have been since. My principal interest from a 
professional standpoint is in forestation problems. Since I have 
been on this forest I have had a chance to engage in that line 
on an extensive scale with some degree of success, but with 
results still mainly undetermined."

15, 1912, when he received his present appointment. 

He writes : "I have recently left the service of the Dominion 
Forestry Branch, and am at present chief forester of the Pro- 
vincial Forest Branch, recently established to administer the 
public forest lands of the province of British Columbia. 

"British Columbia covers about 350,000 square miles, and is 
very similar in character to Washington, Oregon and Idaho. 
The timber in the southern portion of the Province is similar 
to that north of the 45th parallel of latitude, and west of the 
115th parallel of longitude in the United States, with the dif- 
ference that the valleys in British Columbia are narrower, and 



i9f YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

the mountains are steeper and higher, and there is a smaller 
proportion of very heavy timber. In the northern portion of 
British Columbia the timber consists chiefly of spruce and large 
pine, and does not extend far from the rivers and lakes. 

"The merchantable area of the Province has been estimated 
at from 50 to 60 million acres. 

"The Government has pursued the policy of refusing to part 
with the title of timber land. Only about one million acres 
of timber land have been granted in fee simple to private parties. 
About nine million acres of timber land have been leased to 
private individuals. The remainder of the forest land, consist- 
ing chiefly of timber at present considered inaccessible, and all 
burned-over land covered with reproduction is still in the hands 
of the Crown. 

"The present revenue of the Province from timber leases and 
from the royalty of 50 cents per thousand charged on all timber 
cut amounts to $2,600,000 per year. This revenue will be largely 
increased as the development proceeds. The indications are now 
that there will be a rapid advance in the next few years. 

"The new Forest Branch has been formed under the guidance 
of Mr. Pinchot and Mr. Price, to administer the timber lands 
and to develop the country by a wise forestry policy for the 
Province. The Forest Branch is very young. There are at 
present about twenty foresters, but the indications are that the 
staff will need to be very largely increased during the next two 
or three years. In order that the rangers and foresters may be 
secured it is the intention of the Government to establish a 
forestry school in connection with the new provincial university." 

He is a member of the Presbyterian church. In 1910 he was 
appointed Canadian representative to the Convention of the

the son of Thomas Tierney and Mary (Sullivan) Tierney. He is of

He was prepared at the Farmington High School, Farmington, Minn..

from the University of Minnesota, where he was a member of Alpha 
Zeta. 

He was married November 15, 1910, in Minneapolis, Minn., to Miss

have a daughter, Helen Louise Tierney, born February 21, 1912. 

After graduation from the Yale Forest School Tierney

employed in the United States Forest Service. He was then 
appointed instructor in the University of Minnesota, being 
placed in charge of the Forest Experiment Station. Since May 
15, 191 1, he has held the position of assistant state forester of 
Minnesota. 

He writes : "The first organized attempt to carry on forestry 
work in Minnesota was authorized by the passage of the 191 1 
Forest Law. A few months later I undertook to hold down the 
job of assistant state forester. In this position I have had a 



YALE FOREST SCHOOL 



try at nearly every phase of forestry work that one could 
imagine. 

"Fire protection was of course the first work. At the outset 
we assumed that the majority of fires could be prevented simply 
by having the right kind of men distributed throughout the 
forest district, to remind people of the dangers of fire and also 
point out situations where dangerous fires are liable to occur. 
This naturally led us to the question of handling fires which 
originate from railroad rights-of-way and to the disposal of 
slash following logging operations. 

"The railroads are now working in complete harmony with 
this department, not only to prevent fires being started from 
their locomotives, but also to extinguish any which may start 
near the rights-of-way. They now realize that it is money well 
spent to prevent fires on their rights-of-way, and also — what 
is of more importance to us — that the care of railroad fires rests 
with the companies themselves. 

"Our district rangers have been selected with the greatest 
care, and it is on them we depend for working out the details 
of slash disposal on practically every logging job or woods 
operation in the state. We have of course made it clear to the 
rangers what are the objects of slash disposal, but it is up to 
them to decide on the methods which will fulfill these objects. 
Under certain conditions the slash must be disposed of as log- 
ging proceeds ; under others it must be burned in the early 
spring; or it may be sufficient simply to dispose of the slashings 
for a specified distance on either side of all logging roads and 
on the boundaries of the logged-over tract. 

"We have divided the forested area of the state into fourteen 
large districts, with a ranger in charge of each. Under each 
ranger there are patrolmen, the number of whom varies with 
the necessity of patroling against the spread of fires. Aside 
from this force, each railroad company provides patrolmen 
sufficient to protect their rights-of-way. The lumber and mining 
companies provide patrolmen of their own accord or when 
requested to do so. A number of the townships have also levied 
a special tax, to pay for a township patrolman and provide a 
fire fighting fund. Telephones, trails, cabins and lookout towers 
have been constructed to aid in the fire protection work.

"The opportunities for forestry work, I believe, are the best 
in this state of any east of the Rockies. A great quantity of 
timber is still uncut, and its utilization is a field in which the 
forester may help. At present only a small area of land is 
under the exclusive management of this department. The dis- 
posal of three and one-half millions of acres of state school 
lands is provided for in the state constitution, but since a great 
deal of this land is suitable only for growing timber, the consti- 
tution will eventually be changed so that the forest land can be 
handled as such. Aside from this there are millions of acres 
of privately owned land Avhich must in time come back to the 
state and will be used for the growth of timber. We are gath- 
ering data to show the character and extent of all such non- 
agricultural lands and when we have gathered sufficient data 
the matter will be in shape for legislation. We have estimated 
the amount of non-agricultural land in the state which should 
be kept growing timber continuously, at about fifteen million 
acres. To acquire such an amount of land and put it under 
forest management looks like some job for the foresters."

Coeur d'Alene National Forest as forest assistant. On July 
20, 1909, was transferred to the Kootenai National Forest and 
a few months afterwards was appointed as deputy forest super- 
visor. During March of 191 1 I was again transferred to the

A year later he was transferred to the Coeur d'Alene National 
Forest, and in January, 19 13, received his present assignment. 
Early in 191 1 he wrote: 

"Since the career of mechanical engineer and of naval architect 
had ever seemed, throughout my college course, so equally entic- 
ing that a decision between them was exceedingly difficult, it was 
perhaps only natural that after graduation I should have clutched 
eagerly the birchen rod of the school teacher. For two years I 
was instructor of mathematics and physics at Williston Seminary, 
» Easthampton, Mass. Having thus given myself ample time for 
choosing between the above-mentioned careers, I promptly entered 
the Yale Forest School, where I spent another two years in trying 
not to remember with what contempt I had, as an undergraduate, 
looked upon all members of the graduate departments of the Uni- 
versity. Last March I passed through the ordeal of Civil Service 
examinations with sufficient success to be ordered westward, in 
July. Ever since I have been contentedly busy on the Helena 
National Forest, a very scattered area of some nine hundred 
thousand acres, lying anywhere from one to forty miles from the 
city of Helena, Mont. My work has been as diverse as is usual 
in this line of activity — including timber-estimating, land classifi- 
cation, surveying, mapping, and trying to remember which side 
of a horse it is more orthodox to attempt to ascend — but the 
major part of my time has been devoted to the Boulder Nursery, 
where I serve as chief nursemaid to some four million infant pines 
and firs." 

He is a Republican — "probably progressive." He is a member 
of the Episcopal church. 

He has written : A new method of constructing volume tables,

Coan writes: "Since graduation from the Yale Forest School 
in June, 1910, I have been continuously in the employ of the 
United States Forest Service. For a period of nearly two years 
I was assigned to work on the Chelan National Forest. This 
forest adjoins the main range of the Cascade Mountains (in 
the state of Washington) and has a very rugged topography of 
which I became fully aware before completing the extensive 
reconnaissance of the forest. The unique feature of this forest 
is the long and narrow lake included within its boundaries, which 
is at once a wonderful piece of natural scenery, and an effective 
aid to travel and fire protection. My work on this forest con- 
sisted almost wholly in estimating timber and in managing a 
timber sale. 

'T am at present located upon the Whitman National Forest 
(Oregon), where for the past summer (1912) I have engaged 
in intensive reconnaissance. This work consists in the map- 
ping of topography, the forest types timber cover, and an accu- 
rate examination and classification of the land to determine 



244 YALE FOREST SCHOOL 

its value for agricultural purposes. In addition, the value of 
each section (the work thus far has been in surveyed country) 
is determined for grazing and an accurate lo per cent, estimate 
is made by an estimator who works along with the compass — 
or map man. The accuracy of mapping is dependent to a very 
large extent on skilled use of the pocket compass and maintaining 
a consistent pace for all varieties of topography."

little town of Ogden, whence I was sent as forest assistant to the 
Sawtooth Forest, where I received my only unpleasant experience 
in the Service, a four months' furlough. I got a chance to take
